Fragmented notice from 1871 outlines electoral district boundaries and inspection lists for South Province Western region. Includes dates and officials such as Election Registrar Tanner and details on polling locations and inspection notices.
Fragmented notice describes a noon sale of property including parcels named MALPACKE ALLATMENT and WOODEN COTTAGE with four rooms in Wooniphoa, listing items like hay and cattle in a rural auction. It mentions a luncheon and details about buyers and regulations in a dated, unclear Francophone garble.
The report from Melbourne and Auman & Co notes weak acting markets for cattle and produce in the 47th auction. Prices for beef and dairy items decline with limited demand. barley and oats show modest pricing shifts while bulls and cows vary by yard, and a general soft tone pervades the sale with some improved lots offering slight advances.
The column denounces the Ballan Shire Council overdraft handling and the expenditure estimate for 20th September, accusing Councillor Duncan of misleading ratepayers. It questions the use of £1,200 endowment funds and notes a proposed reduction to £2,600 in the overdraft, while calling for transparency and public accountability.
A detailed court record from Byllan petty sessions describes a bail hearing with multiple defendants and plaintiffs, including Watts, Kelly, and others. The proceedings note lack of appearance, sworn statements, rent and survey charges, and a verdict ordering payment to Mr. Watt.
